  1. A public option turns Medicare into a competing insurance company, and paying for it into a premium instead of through progressive taxation. The poorest person would have to pay the same premium as the richest person, to get coverage. It is regressive (as is a VAT). Phasing out private insurance allows for Bernie to also demand companies turn their per employee healthcare payments ($10k on average) into wages. With a public option, unless you convince the employer to switch over, it becomes pointless for an individual employee to start paying for something they already have, and makes it difficult for them to negotiate individually to opt out of the company plan and get wages instead. It's also just doesn't seem to get you universal coverage anytime soon ... https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/08/los-angeles-public-option-2020-democrats/597115/

  2. They can't even math correctly. -$2 (amount consumer paid in) + $2 (amount government received) = $0 (amount businesses paid in) https://images.app.goo.gl/FmZbfsYJZ1NubS6e6

  3.  @bluesrockfan36  Sounds like you're referring to his end vision, as was LA's end vision. His "burden shifting", transition, phase he outright describes as a public option, which hasn't worked as a transition phase for LA.
